Abstract

This article reviews the extraordinary potency of Mr. Guangzhao Zhou’s personality and his dedication to China’s science and technology development over 30 years of involvement. We reflect on Mr. Zhou’s significant role in developing the “Two Bombs and One Satellite” Project, national basic research, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From revisiting Mr. Zhou’s “Seven Elements of Scientific Spirit”, we reaffirm our lifelong commitment to the scientific spirit. Both the author and Mr. Zhou believe in the power of academic democracy and free debate to advance science. Both Mr. Zhou and author view academic tolerance as a scientific attitude, see the growth of young talents as essential for national development and consider science ethics as the core of scientific spirit. The author seeks to inspire further advancements in China’s science and technology through reflecting on Mr. Zhou’s significant contributions.
